Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine, fitted with the Zanussi “JET SYSTEM”, meets all modern needs for
effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated
automatically according to the load and type of fabric.

■

Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C

before draining, with the 95°C programme, prevents
distortion of plastic pipes in the domestic water
system due to the high temperature of the water.

■

The special wool programme with its new delicate
wash system treats your woollen with extreme
gentleness.

■

The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing
machine remains stable when spinning.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:

■

Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the
hardness of your water supply, the amount of
laundry and the degree of soiling.

■

Select a “quick” programme for lightly soiled
laundry.

■

A programme without prewash is sufficient for
normally soiled laundry.

In the interest
of the environment

■

Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

■

Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.

■

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door lock device
unusable to prevent young children from being
trapped inside.

■

Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the environment?
We use recycled paper!

■

Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine
washed. If in doubt, consult the care label on the
clothes.

■

Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty
and buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing
frayed or torn articles and treat stains such as paint,
ink, rust, and grass before washing. Underwired bras
must NOT be machine washed.

■

Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener.
Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill.
Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations of
quantities.

■

As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed in
large commercial machines because of their bulk,
please check with the manufacturer of the item
before washing in a domestic machine.

■

Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes
to preserve the door seal.

■

Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair
the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning. Contact your local Zanussi Service
Force Centre. Always insist on genuine Zanussi
spare parts.
